1723 (ca.), [Udaipur], Sunrise in Udaipur -- National Museum of Asian Art (Washington) (special exhibition)

From the museum label: What is the mood of Udaipur at dawn? Beneath billowing clouds of scarlet, gold, and blue, the grand City Palace, fortified walls, green hills, and temples surround a spectacular lake. While the king protects the realm by hunting a tiger that has come close to the capital, city dwellers and villagers go busily about their morning activities to the sounds of dipping oars, splashing fish, and the scoop and swish of a waterwheel.
